12 games scheduled for October: Nashville, at Buffalo, at Carolina, San Jose, Edmonton, Colorado, at Washington, Calgary, Florida, at Chicago, at Chicago and at San Jose. How many points (out of a possible 24) will Rangers have on November 1st?

The start of a season is generally the hardest to predict, and seemingly doesn't often align with the season as a whole. Given that I do feel they'll be in the 10-12 point range, thanks to those OT/SO points that might make them look a little better than they feel.
